Hi, all:
I just found out I have a nail in the side of my backup tire in the trunk. Does anyone has any suggestion regarding which brand/make/model is the best backup tires?
For it to be a backup tire, it should be non-directional, i.e. goes on driver/passenger side. Because I have the Bridgestone Pole position tires on my normal wheels, 205/55/16R 91W, I want the back up tire to work well with them. i.e. at least V or H rated.
Thanks all.

I would not worry about the tire rolling the opposite way. It will not hurt the tire at all. Handling in the dry will not even be affected. The only disadvantage would be in standing water they would hydro plane more easily. I would just go with an inexpensive tire.
If I can help let me know.

I would just get something really cheap and asymmetrical, such as a Fuzion HRi.

Thanks all.I'd go with the same tire as the 4 that are on the car.
